What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate 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 gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
