Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
