Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property 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 look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
