If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
