The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate 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 property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
