If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has 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 indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
