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 solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
