Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
