What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
