If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
