What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
