What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
