If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
