Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a 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 any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
