Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Raupunga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
