Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

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