The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re 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 is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
