If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Newlands building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
