What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

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