What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
