Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
