Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
