What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
