What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
