Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

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