Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
