The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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 siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may 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 surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
