If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
