The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Raureka building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home 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, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
