What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search 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 with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
