If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
