The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Karamu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
