The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Raupunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
