The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
