Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
