Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed 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 be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or 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 be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
