Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Rongotai building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
