Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
