Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
