What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.
