The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
