Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
