What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
