If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Khandallah building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
