A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Newtown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
