Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
