Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Pinehaven building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
