If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
