If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or 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.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
