If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Pipitea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues 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. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
