The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

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 sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
