The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Raureka building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
