The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
