The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Karamu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
