What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
