The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
