Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Belmont building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
