The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
