Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
