What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
