If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
