What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings 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 will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
