If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects 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, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten 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 piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
