What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking 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 due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
