If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
