Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
