Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been 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: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
