Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
