Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
