The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
