If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
