What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Normandale building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
