If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
