Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
