If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
