It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Newtown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
