What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
