What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property 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 acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
