Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
