Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Trentham building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
