A Comprehensive Building & Home Inspection in Trentham

Peace of Mind

We will conduct an extensive inspection of the property and provide you with a fair and sincere comprehensive written report on the building that includes photos of any troublesome areas for you to be sure that the house you are purchasing has the standard you expect.

A thorough inspection conducted by a Trentham building inspector usually will take between one and a half, and 2 hours on site. However, we permit a maximum two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections within Trentham. Followed by a number of additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are comprehensive, yet easy to understand to inform you as best as imaginable about your potential new home. You will be in a better position to negotiate by being completely aware of your options to make educated decision-making about your property.

Don’t end up over-paying for a household that is going to give you headaches with potential issues in the future. We know exactly where common problems occur, and can give you expert advice on how to move forward.

Depending on what a home inspection finds the house inspector may allow you to use a report to help negotiate with the seller on price or repairs. Even if a report uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a road map to plan future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
