Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
