The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
