The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, 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 good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued 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. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
