If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
