What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed 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 pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
