The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

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 highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
