The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
