Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
