Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Trentham building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
