The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
