Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
