The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
