The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Karamu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
