Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
