What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
