Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
