What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Newlands building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
