Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Belmont building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
