The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Clive building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house 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 when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
