Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

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

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Raureka building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
