The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karamu building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
