The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
