What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
