What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
