Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Karamu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
