Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
