The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Raureka building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
