What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
