If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Pipitea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
