The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Raupunga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
