What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karamu building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
