What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Pipitea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
