Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
