You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
