What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
