What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
