Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
