Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built 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 appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
