If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Mornington building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
