Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
