Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
