Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
