The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Newlands building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
