What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are 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 for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
