The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
