If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Mornington building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
