It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
