What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
