If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
