If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
