Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs 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.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
