What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
