The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Pipitea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
