Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Raureka building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
