Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
