The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
