Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Karamu building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
