It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
