If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
