The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
