Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
