Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
