Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
