Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
