The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
