If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
