Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: 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 are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
