What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

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 well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
