Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Clive building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
