Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
