What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
