If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
