What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
