If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
