Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
