If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
