A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Karaka Bays building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
