The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
