The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
