What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
