What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
