Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Karamu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
