The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
