The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
