Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in 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 future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
