If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Karaka Bays building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

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

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
