If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Karamu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.
