We will carry out an exhaustive examination of your home as well as offer you with a fair and sincere detailed written report of the construction, complete with photographs of any troublesome areas to assure you that the house that you purchase is of the quality you expect.

A thorough inspection conducted by an Clive building inspector usually is between one half hours, and up to two hours at the site. However, we permit a maximum two hours for our standard pre purchase inspections in Clive. Then, we spend a few additional hours in the preparation of the report.

Our reports are comprehensive, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as accurately as possible regarding your prospective new property. You put yourself in a better negotiating position when you are fully aware of your options to make educated choices about property.

Don’t end up over-paying for the house which is likely to give you headaches with future issues. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems happen, and will offer specialist advice on how to proceed.

Depending on what a house investigation finds, you may be able to use a report to aid in negotiations with the vendor over price or even repairs. Even if a report only finds minor issues, you can still use it as a roadmap for the future maintenance.

Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing 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, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues 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 have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
