The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.
