Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
