Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
