Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could 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 house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
