What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
