If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
