Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
