The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
