If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Karaka Bays building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
