What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
