Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
