Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
