Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
