What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Khandallah building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
