Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
