The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
