The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, 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

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in 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 might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
