What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
