Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
