Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
