Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
