The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
