If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
