What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
