What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed 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

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
