Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Raureka building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
