The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
