Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
