What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
