Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
