Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
