Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Newlands building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten 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 pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
