What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
