Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
