If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
