Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Karamu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

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 asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
