Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so 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 is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karamu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
