What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
