If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
