What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
