The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Rongotai building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
