Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
