Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
