If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Pipitea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
