If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
