The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
