Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
