Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
