The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
