If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. 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 your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
