The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
