The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Clive building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
