What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
