What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
