What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
