Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Clive building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
