Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Pipitea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
