Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to 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 houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
