The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Raupunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
