What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
