The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
