It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
