The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
