Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to 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 mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
