Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
