The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
