What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
