The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
