It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
