Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
