If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
