Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
