It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
