What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
