The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Raupunga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
