Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
