The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
