Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
