If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
