Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
