What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
