Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
