Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building 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 pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
