If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Mount Victoria building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
