The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has 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 will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
