What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
