Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
