Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
