Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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 will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
