If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built 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 if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found 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, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
