Our reports are comprehensive, yet easy to understand in an effort to inform you as best as possible about the potential of your new home. You put yourself in a stronger position for negotiation by being fully in the know to make well-informed decision-making about your property.

Don’t pay too much for a household that’s likely create headaches due to potential issues in the future. We are aware of the most common places issues occur and give you expert guidance on how to move forward.

Based on what an house investigation finds the home inspector may allow you to use a report to help you negotiate with the seller on price or even repairs. Even if a report only uncovers minor problems, you are able to still use it as a reference for future maintenance.

The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Clive building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
