Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
