Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
