Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
