Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
