Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Khandallah building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
