Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
