Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten 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 solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
