Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Rongotai building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
