If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Pipitea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
