Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Newlands 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. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.
