Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
