The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: 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 caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
