Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
