Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.
