If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
