Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
