Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
