Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
