Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Clive building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
