What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Raureka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
