Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
