What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
