Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
