The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
