We will carry out an extensive inspection of your property in order to provide you with an accurate and honest comprehensive written report of the construction and photos of any troublesome areas to assure you that the home that you purchase will be of the standard you expect.

Our thorough inspection by a Pinehaven building inspector usually lasts between one and half and 2 hours on site. However, we permit a maximum two hours for our standard pre-purchase inspections inside Pinehaven. This is followed by a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are detailed, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as accurately as possible regarding your prospective new property. You put yourself in a stronger position for negotiation in the event that you are fully in the know to make well-informed decision-making about your property.

Don’t overpay for an home that’s likely to give you headaches with future problems. We can pinpoint the areas where most issues occur and offer professional guidance on how to move forward.

Depending on what the results of a home inspection finds the house inspector may allow you to use a report to help negotiate with the seller about price or repair. Even if a report finds minor issues, you can still use it as a guideline for future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
