The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
