The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
