What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with 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 areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
