Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
