Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
