Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Pipitea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
