Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and 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: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
