Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
