The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
