Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
