The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Normandale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
