The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
