Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
