Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
