What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Raupunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
