Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
