The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
