If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
