Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
