The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
