Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
