If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
