If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a 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 the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
