Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Normandale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
