The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
