Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
