It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
