Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

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

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
