Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
