Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
