What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate 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 are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
