Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
