Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: 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 won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
