Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
