Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
