Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
