The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
