The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Belmont building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
