Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
