The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

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