What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
