Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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 cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
