What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the 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 assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
