Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
