Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
