Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Raupunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
