Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
