If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on 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 removeit, and the cost for removal.
