If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
