The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
