If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
