If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
