Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Raureka building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
