If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
