Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
