What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
