The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
