Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Rongotai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
