You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Clive building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
