What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, 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 home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
