The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
