Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
