Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
