The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
