The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. 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 because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
