Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. 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 the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
