The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture 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 your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
