The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Newlands

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
