If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Karamu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws 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 not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
