The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
