The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
