What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
