What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred 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: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
