The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
