The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Karamu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
