Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
