The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
