Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
