What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
