Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
