Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, 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 expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household 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 if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
