What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
