What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
