The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance 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 search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
