The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
