The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
