The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
