Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
