Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
