Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
