The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Raupunga building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
