If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
