What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
