The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
