What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Belmont building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
