Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
