Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
