Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws 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 a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
