The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
