Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
