Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
