Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
