The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
