If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
