What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
