Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
