The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
