Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Pipitea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
