If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
