Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
