What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
