The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
