Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
