Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Trentham building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
