The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home 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 caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
