The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
