Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Normandale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.
