Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Rongotai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
