What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Raureka building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
