Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
