If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Mornington building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
