Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
