If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
