Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
