It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Mornington building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
