What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could 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 take to remove, and the cost for removal.
