If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
