It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
