Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Raupunga building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
