Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
