The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 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. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
