A Comprehensive Building & Home Inspection in Mornington

Peace of Mind

We will carry out a thorough inspection of the property and provide you with a fair as well as honest detailed written report of the construction and photos of any areas that are in need of attention to ensure that the home you are purchasing can be described as being of the quality you expect.

A thorough inspection conducted by a Mornington building inspector usually lasts between one and half and two hours on site. We allow maximum of two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections in Mornington. Then, we spend a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are thorough, yet easy to understand to inform you as clearly as imaginable about the potential of your new home. You will be in a better position to negotiate by being fully in the know to make well-informed decision-making about your property.

Do not pay too much for the household that’s likely to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems arise, and we can give you specialist guidance on how to proceed.

Based on what an home investigation finds it is possible to utilise a report to help you negotiate with the seller about price or to make repairs. Even if a report detects minor issues, you can still use it as a roadmap for future maintenance.

What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
