Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
