Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
