If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs 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 where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
