The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed 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 can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
