The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
