The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
