Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
