Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
