What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
