Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

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