Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Belmont

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
