Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
