If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
