What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Normandale

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
