Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
