What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
