What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
