Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
