If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

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