The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Pinehaven building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
