Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
