Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
