Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
