Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
