Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
