Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
