If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
