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

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
