Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
