The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
