If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
