What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
