Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property 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 look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
