If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
