The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
