What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
