The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
