Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any 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 house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
