Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
