The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
