Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
