The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
