If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs 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 or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed 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, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
