What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant 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 property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
