Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
