What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
