What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
