The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built 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 piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
