Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
