If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
