Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
