The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
