Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
