Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. 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 require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
