If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
