The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
