The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Raupunga building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
