Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
