The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Raureka building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
