What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Raupunga building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
