Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

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