The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Raureka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
