Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
