The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
