The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by 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: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
