What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
