Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
