What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
