What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
