Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
