If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
