If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
