Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
