You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
