Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until 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 may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
