What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
