What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
