What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
