It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
