What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
