If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
