If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
