What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
