What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
