The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
