The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
