What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
