The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and 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: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
