If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Mount Victoria building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
