Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
