If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
