The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
