Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Trentham building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house 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 piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
