The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

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 problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects 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 house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
