Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Rongotai building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
